DENVER ,CO (March 10, 2010) —Dunlap Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning, Denver’s #1 Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor, is proud to announce that, starting this summer, they will be offering their Colorado Customers the latest innovation in Solar Power-a of Solar Powered Air Conditioner and Heat Pump Home Energy System.

Unveiled at the Las Vegas Builder Show, the new Home Energy System uses solar power as an energy source for central heating and cooling and beyond. State-of-the-Art SunSource™ Home Energy System provides simplest way for homeowners to bring solar power into the home and save on utility bills. Lennox Industries, a leading provider of customized home heating, cooling and indoor air quality products, today introduced the patent pending SunSource™ Home Energy System a new solar-powered central heating and cooling system that reduces overall household electricity consumption without the costs associated with traditional solar installations at the International Builder’s Show in Las Vegas.The new SunSourceHome Energy System not only harnesses solar energy from the sun to reduce the electricity consumed by a residential heat pump or air conditioner, but also is able to use that solar power to operate other devices in the home that consume electricity, such as lighting and appliances, when the heating and cooling system is not running. In addition, if the SunSourcesystem generates more power than is used by the home, that power will be sent back to the utility company, which may entitle the homeowner to a credit on their utility bill.According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the typical U.S. household pays $2,200 a year on utility bills, and the bulk of those energy costs—between 50 and 60 percent—comes from heating and cooling the home.”With the new SunSourceHome Energy System, homeowners can reduce the energy consumption associated with heating and air conditioning, while also significantly cutting their overall utility bills,” said John Hurst, vice president, product management at Lennox International. “Lennox is the first heating and air conditioning manufacturer to harness solar energy for central heating and cooling and beyond, and the new SunSourcesystem is really a gateway to the future of innovation in the HVAC industry.“
